The New Orleans States beautifully
and touchingly says of the Ford case =
The District Attorney in substance said
that "The act of the accused was under
the statues murder, but unfortunately in
this community there is in such cases a
higher law than that of the statues."-
That such higher law exists here is true,
but we protest that it is not unfortunate
chat it exists. On the contrary, we think
it should exist; we are glad that it does
exist; and we trust that when those of us
who are the present actors in these living
scenes shall have mouldered into dust, it
will survive in our land to the latest gen.
erations, n terror to the betrayer of fe-
male virtue, shielding our homes from po-
luton, guarding the honor of our wives
and children and imparting the glow OF
chivalry to our civilization. Broken hearts
wounded honor, children's tears-ruined
shrines-these are the triumphs of the Sc.
Queer. Let those who stand amid such
wrecks be ever ready to strike, not nnde,
the shield of the statute in claim fol
damages, but with a righteous vengeance
swift and terrible as the lightning O.
Heaven hurled by an omnipotsnt God"

LOUISIANA LANDS. - Ever since Jay
Gould's visits to New Orleans the gossips
have been quite busy discussing all kinds
of vague rumors regarding his motive in
coming South and his probable intentions
toward the South. Colonel Wheelock in
speaking of Gould said that the land of
which so much had been written of late,
was entered over year ago by Mr.. Gould
and in December last he paid $4,000 of
taxes on the same. Mr.. Wheelock said
further that Mr.. Gould was q strong be-
lever in the future of Louisiana, and was
not alone in this particular as the Chicago
eyndicate-Fairbanks, Perkins and others
had during the year purchased 100000
acres of Louisiana lands, and were even
now looking around for more.-[Times-

by his vehement condemnation Of the YER

THE Picayume concludes in this wise
on the Ford case: ''rhe story is indeed a

THE President has signed the Inter-
state Commerce bill, as we never doubted
he would do, and that measure will go
into effect as soon as the commission Gre
ated under it has been appointed by the
President. 1t will probably take some
time to put it in full active operation, but
within year the country will have an
opportunity of thoroughly testing it and
seeing hew far it goes toward correcting
those inequalities, injustiees and diserim-

people had so loudly and SO long protest

the government, to protect the levees7
Judge Hoyt-1 am glad yon mentioned
the levees. The road is bound naturally
to protect itself. Every member of the
syndicate, and they are many, will use all
the influence they possess with their Eas-
tern Congressman to get large appropria-
tions, because i'll so doing they protect
their road. People naturally think con-
tinually of that which most attacks their
individual interests. Let me read you
what Col. Lopez wrote to me day or two
ago: Get all the information you can
from the best informed people in the sec
tion you are in as regards the work that
the government is going to do toward

particulars as their letters may not con-

STORY OF A VENDETTA.
The Sequel of a Feud that Caused
Much Bloodshed While it Lasted.
From the Metc York sun.

From the Netc York Sun.
PITTsFIELD, ILL, Nov. 23-The acquit-
tai of Andrew Hamilton in the Circuit
Court of this county, where he has been
under indictment for murder for thirteen
years, terminates very notable case. The
southern part of Pike county lies between
the Illinois river on the east and the MiSsis-
sppi on the west, and joins Calhoun
county, which is noted as the only county
in Illinois without railroad, telegraph,
bank or negro within its borders. In
this primitive district a feud de-
veloped in 1870 The principals were
the Hamilton and Daniels families
The former consisted of John, the father
and three sons-Noah, Andrew and Silas,
The latter of Col. Daniels and five sons
John, Poke, Albert, Martin and Clark The
difficulty began over the division line be-
tween farms. Each side was brave, always
ready, and many fights ensued, in which
deadly weapons were used. Early in the
warfare Noah Hamilton was stabbed and
killed, and then Silas was shot dead The
community took sides, and Con Williams
was shot and killed by Col. Daniels, and the
latter went to the penitentiary. Then old
John Hamilton was wounded, and died from
the troubles that ensued.
During the winter of 1874 Clark Daniels
and Andrew Hamilton, then only 10 years
of age, met at the house of Mrs. Mckee at a
dance. Daniels at once assaulted Hamilton,
striking him with slungshot, when Ham
ilton shot him dead. The lights were ex-
tinguished and general fight followed be
tween the friends of these person. When
order was restored Hamilton had fled, and
three people were found to be shot. A large
reward was offered for the fugitive, but
without success.
The memory of the tragedy was suddenly
revived in July last by the announcement
that wealthy ranchman and mine owner
named Richard Harcrater had been arrested
in Baker City, Oregon. He was identified
as Andrew Hamilton, the slayer of Clark
Daniels. He was brought back here for
trial.
The story of Hamiltons escape and his
career since then, is full of interest. After
the killing of Daniels, he and young
woman with whom he had gone to party,
mounted the same horse and rode thirty
miles in the bitter cold, having their hands
and fleet frozen. Hamilton was laid up
in concealment for two months in conse-
quence, and the woman died year later
from the effects. Hamilton then went to
San Francisco, and after a year, went to
Cuba, remaining two years, and returning,
settled in Baker City, Oregon, assuming the
name of Richard Harcrater under which he
married highly respectable young woman,
by whom he had two children. After his
arrest he remarked his wife under his own
name, and re-conveyed large amount of
property conveyed to her under his former
name. The trial was fought bitterly, but
Hamilton was acquitted on the ground of
selfdefense.

THELAND BOOM.
Prices Way Up Among the Stars-The
Dangers to be Avoided.


Dangers to be Avoided.
The wonderful land boom of the past year
has excited very general attention.
1t has not been confined to any one local.
ty, for, as Chauncev NJ. Depew said, after q
visit to the West, cat nearly every one OF
the trade centres we visited, we found ex-
travagant and untenable vlsws OF prospect
i've real estate values.n
OF course the vast army Of men engaged,
in one way or another III these enterprises
were 10th to believe their views either ex-
travagant or untenable. Both they and
Depew are right to a certain extent.
Land values have rapidly and permanent
ly increased in this country in the last ffty
years. This is especially noticeable IN the
Jumping" West, along the lines OF Lew
railroads.
Thousands of new cities have sprung up,
with a growth perfectly astonishing, ana
great fortunes have been made in real estate.
Land values must continue to increase
generally, because the available area of land
in the country is now so small as to render
inevitable its entire absorption in few
years
One hundred years from now, at the
present rate of increase, our population VIII
be 400 to the square mile-twlce as many as
in the largest European nations.
To be a safe Spectator, 1t is necessary TO
study cause and effect, as the proprietors OF
Warmers safe cure did i'll preparing their
remedy. Its success is great, because it
reaches the cause of disease. Every drop OF
blood coursing through the system passes
through the kidneys If they are in sound
working order, the blood is purified it de-
ranged, poison, that should be eliminated, is
carried through the blood channels to every
part of the system. The poison attacks the
weak points, and so come the long list OF
resulting ailments. Remedy the cause, put
the purifying organs in health, and the
whole system becomes healthy.
There must be a solid basis for land
boom, however, or it will inevitably result
in a crash, entailing great losses and subse-
quent injurious depression.
Two thousand dollars per foot front for
land in some cities might be judicious
investment in others, very indiscreet. 1t is
wise to make investments OF o character in
dicating permanent, if slower, growth and
increase of value.

Gen, Sherman Model First-Nighter
from clara Bellies Letter

1t is delightful to see Gen. Sherman at
first nights in theatres. He always has a
pretty woman with him, and the constant
attention he pays to her is lesson to those
careless young men who out and dawdle in
the lobby or hold up some neighboring bar
during the intermssions The old war-horse
is white-headed and stubbly-bearded. His
clothes are not the correct evening dress by
any means, for he usually wears a pepper
and salt suit, but there Is a world of earnest
admiration in his honest blue eyes, and the
court he pays to his companion is more than
a claw-hammer coat could convey.
